Last summer, a friend with a good job in fashion was told her landlord wanted hundreds more each month. She had to move onto friends’ sofas, and considered leaving the city. With a bit of luck, after a tough autumn and winter, she found somewhere on the other side of town. Figures recently eleased by Spare Room show the average price for a room is more than £1,000 a month, and rents overall went up by 13.5 per cent last year.
